Poll: Sakhir Grand Prix 2020, Sakhir - Race 16/17

[Pigeon_Killer]

Wow, great effort from Russell.

 

[Psycho Ned]

2 hundredths! So close.

 

[el_dazza]

So close, great effort George.

 

[Stu999]

Jesus! Unlucky George but great job. Nice one Charles too.

 

[adam cool dude]

Just goes to show it's all about the Mercedes.

 

[KiNgPiN83]

Not bad after a few days in the car. Bet he wishes he had smaller feet.

 

[Mr Jack]

Fantastic effort from George. Amazing lap from Leclerc.

Bottas needs to nail this start.

 

[Stu999]

George not used to parking in those bays at the end

Well he must be due not having a terrible start... Lol!

 

[steve45]

I think he should be quite proud of himself with that.

 

[englishpremier]

Good effort from Russell as to be expected really. Hope he has a good race. He has every chance given Bottas' poor starts.

The risk for the guys up front is Leclerc getting a good start and holding them all up. Max isn't exactly a great starter either.

Albon out qualified by both Alpha Tauri's is a disgrace, unfortunately for him.

 

[Merlin5]

I think Max will take poll, Bottas 2nd, Russell 3rd or 4th.

I'm glad I'm not a gambler

Just goes to show how much difference the cars make. Shame really.

This isn’t a new thing though. It’s always been the case due to the nature of F1.

True. That doesn't make it any less of a shame though.

Bottas was close to taking the front wing off last weekend on the wall. Not the most ideal parking space...

Yeah, I think that’s what he was worried about

 

[KiNgPiN83]

True. That doesn't make it any less of a shame though.

To be honest I’m always staggered that they all go off and design and car, come back and they end up as close as they are.

On another point I didn’t realise Russell was that tall. In racing driver terms that is. And compared to lewis, he must be proper wedged in that car! Haha!

 

[pioneer2000]

This pretty much silences the opposition to the “it’s the car not the driver” crowd. George has managed to get within a couple of milliseconds of pole when he’s practicality not driven the car before and doesn’t even fit in his boots or the seat.

 

[Merlin5]

Does anyone think Russell will get in front of Bottas tomorrow in the first few seconds?

Solid 80% chance Bottas has a messy start and George takes the lead IMO
